Chapter 1326 Slowly Waiting for Death (1)

Hospital.

Outside the corridor was Shang Jingyang, whom we hadn’t seen for a long time.

Because of the lawsuit with the Shang family, the siblings hadn’t seen each other for a long time too.

Shang Meng and Shang Muxue both ended up in prison, so seeing Shang Jingyang always made Qianxun feel a bit guilty, leading to even less communication.

Seeing Qianxun again, Shang Jingyang felt as if they hadn’t met in years. He sighed, "I thought you’d avoid me for the rest of your life."

There was a time when Shang Jingyang was obsessed with Qianxun. He desperately wanted to regain his sister and first love whom he had searched for over a decade. To him, it was an emotional and unbreakable bond.

The inability to fulfill this relationship remained a regret for him.

Upon seeing Shang Jingyang, Qianxun immediately lowered herself a bit: "Brother Jingyang... I’m sorry..."

Because it was a matter between her and Shang Jingyang, Gu Liancheng didn’t want to interfere and let them handle it themselves.

He and Shang Jingyang had also seen less of each other because of Qianxun, although they got along well initially.

Seeing Qianxun in this state, Shang Jingyang immediately softened his stance, "What are you apologizing for? You have nothing to apologize for. If anything... our family owes you a lot."

Qianxun raised her head, with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Brother Jingyang... you don’t blame me?"

Because of her, Liancheng had sent his biological father and sister to jail, and now his stepmother was also...

The family was broken, and shouldn’t he hate her?

"Blame you for what? They brought it upon themselves, otherwise you and Cute wouldn’t have been separated for so many years," Shang Jingyang said, changing the subject as he patted Cute on the head, "Hasn’t Cute grown taller recently?"

"Yes!" Cute, who didn’t seem to mind this temporary uncle, smiled and nodded, "I’ve been eating well, so I’ve grown taller!"

"Jiujiu has also grown taller."

Mentioning this, little Cute was a bit unhappy. Although they were the same age, born only a few minutes apart, the height difference between her and Jiujiu kept increasing.

Even though they were eating the same food...

"Hello, uncle," Jiujiu greeted politely.

"So well-behaved."

Gu Liancheng glanced at the hospital room beside them and asked, "Aunt Luo is in there, right?"

"Yes, she was prepared not to see you," Shang Jingyang said, glancing at Qianxun with a somewhat relieved smile, "But I told her you would definitely come, and here you are, or else..."

It was Shang Jingyang who told them that Luo Qing’s cancer cells had spread significantly, and she had given up on treatment, refusing further chemotherapy, choosing to wait for death.

She initially asked Shang Jingyang to hide this matter, not to tell anyone. Although she missed Qianxun greatly, she felt too guilty towards her daughter to face her, and hence didn’t want it mentioned.

But eventually, Shang Jingyang told them that Luo Qing’s time was limited, leaving it to them whether to see her or not.

As he expected, they came.

"Mom said if you came, she wanted to see you alone," Shang Jingyang said to Gu Liancheng.

"Then I’ll go in first," Gu Liancheng said to Qianxun, patting her on the head before going in.

Thus, Qianxun and Second Treasure waited outside.
